I am getting decidedly more political in my blogs. No, I don't believe in politics, and hopefully the reason comes out in here. In general, the arguments presented to the American people are lies or at best distortions of the truth.
Tony Blair On WMDs - I find it funny when people talk as if there weren't WMDs. Hussein used them against his own people. They uncovered the graves to prove it. The no WMDs thing was just a political thing and the people on both sides new the truth. It was just a political game played on the public. Argue whether going in was the right thing or not is one thing, but basing your argument on something you know isn't the truth is hilarious. A lot of Americans were treated like fools. Against Reform - You will see politicians playing the political game these days. You will see people described as for or against reform of Wall Street. You will see people describing Wall Street as evil. These are the people that are manipulating you. People are quick to say change is good since we just went through a major economic crisis. Ironically, some of the people pushing for reform are also the same ones that encouraged banks to issue the high risk loans because every American deserved to be able to own a home. Hmmm, sounds different than blaming it on the evil big banks, doesn't it. Change Is Good? - Politicians are always advocating for change. Heck, some even say "vote for change" as a campaign slogan. Why? Because it is very likely every American has something they want changed. The truth is that things aren't good or bad. Things can get better or worse. Advocating change for change's sake is foolish. Unless you take the time to find out what changes they are advocating and what the ramifications of the changes will be, do not support change. The way congress was set up in the first place was to resist change for change's sake. Knee-jerk reactions are almost always harmful. | Iran Pissing Contest - It does appear we are going to up the anti very soon in the conflict with Iran. The article discusses seizing money because of the 1983 terrorist attack against the Marine barracks in Lebanon, but it also mentions increased sanctions against Iran. Some day I would like to see more diplomatic means used to solve problems. Could we simply supply Iran with enriched uranium which is not weapons grade? They have every right to have nuclear power. Armed Middle School? - I ran across a story where a 6th grader found bullets in the hallway of her middle school. Simply bizarre. Obama's Brother - Did you know that Obama has a brother that lives in China, not that there is anything wrong with that? Al Qaeda Offers 'Condolences' - Well, isn't that a blip. We must be doing something right because they are trying to sway public opinion. Acknowledge Good Ideas For some reason if a member of one party comes up with a good idea, there is no way in the world the other party will acknowledge it. The Presidents contest for cost reduction is a good example. I don't care if you are a Democrat or Republican. It is a great idea. |
Take Care,
Steve
